Comments: Excellent low-generation audience fragment from EC's 1979 U.S. tour. It's a shame this is only the first third of the show, because it's one of the best recordings I've heard from the tour. Even though it's very brief, it's worth the download because it's an excellent showcase for the band -- great mix of vocals (the harmonies with Albert Lee sound great) and instruments. The audience is also very unobtrusive.

It's unfortunate this recording is incomplete -- I don't think any more than this was recorded. If anyone has any information on why this recording is incomplete, please share your insights on the thread. (And of course if you have a longer version, please post it!)

This is a surprisingly good recording for the era. Mp3 samples are attached.
